Advertisements on Youtube

[stinkynuts]

Remember when there were NO ads on Youtube? Those were the good old days.

Since Google took over, there has been a gradual increase in the number or ads, and they have become more and more annoying. For the first time, I clicked on a video, only to be "forced" to watch a ten second commercial (I couldn't skip it).

Use Adblocker on FireFox. Goodbye ads. Google will soon be caught with all their infringement anyway and their CEO and employees all arrested.

Yeah I noticed them too. They definitely suck, and I don't see any way to bypass them.

Google did set aside a large wad of cash for settlements against infringement.

You can also search from video.google.com, which I think searches through all the video properties google owns(?)

I first thought this thread was for escort ads on youtube, looked a few times and found a few then looked again a week or so ago and there seems to be more!

I noticed the forced ad at the beginning of a video a few days ago. seems like more and more are popping up, plus all the spam ads in the comments.

+1 and ever since doing that, my web surfing has sped up in terms of page loads. One tip on that is to add the google-analytics.com site to the list of blocked sites. That really helps speed things up.
